In  retrospect,  our  first  im- 
pression appears  as  a  rough 
sketch  in  our  minds  of  winding 
pathways,  blooming  trees,  and 
a  brick  mansion  where  we  em- 
barked through  a  massive 
creaky  door.  But,  because  we 
have  experienced  Fairfield  Uni- 
versity for  almost  four  years, 
the  campus  has  become  more 
familiar  to  us  and  more  alive. 
From  the  gate  on  North  Benson 
Road,  to  Campion  Field,  to  Bel- 
larmine  Hill,  we  entered  a  can- 
vas for  our  lives  where  we 
could  draw  our  own  routines, 
make  our  own  friends,  and 
leave  behind  our  own  marks  — 
our  signatures. 

Some  of  us  came  to  Fairfield 
to  study  Nursing,  others  want- 
ed to  learn  Accounting  and 
Physics.  Many  of  us  said  we 
could  not  draw  —  we  are  not 
artists.  Yet,  we  imagined,  and 
created  a  home  for  ourselves, 
adding  sketches  of  Fairfield 
University  in  the  process.

As  Fairfield  University  celebrates  25  years  of  women  enrolled  at  its  institution,  and 
recognizes  the  50th  anniversary  of  the  J.  William  Fulbnght  Foreign  Scholarships  Award, 
The  Manor  Yearbook  staff  congratulates  Dr.  Beverly  Kahn,  associate  dean  of  the  College 
of  Arts  and  Sciences,  for  her  commitment  to  service  at  Fairfield  University.  Dr.  Kahn's 
excellence  over  the  past  six  years  at  Fairfield  University  has  impacted  the  lives  of  both 
students  and  faculty  and  reflects  the  values  instilled  in  the  Jesuit  tradition.  Dr.  Kahn  is 
most  widely  known  for  her  dedication  to  advising  students  through  study  abroad  pro- 
grams and  scheduling  conflicts,  and  her  assistance  in  the  complicated  process  of  com- 
peting for  Fulbright  scholarships. 

Referring  to  the  many  positions  and  responsibilities  she  holds,  Dr.  Kahn  says  "I  wear 
many  hats."  Indeed,  in  addition  to  her  role  as  associate  dean  of  the  College  of  Arts  and 
Sciences,  Dr.  Kahn  is  the  campus  advisor  for  the  Fulbright  Fellowship  Program  for 
students,  campus  representative  for  the  Fulbright  Scholar  Program  for  Faculty,  study 
abroad  coordinator  in  the  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences,  and  mentor  for  several  liberal 
arts  students.  It  is  not  surprising  that  Dr.  Kahn's  office  in  Canisius  100,  traffics  several 
students  a  day,  and  students  usually  have  to  schedule  an  appointment  with  Dr.  Kahn  at 
least  a  week  in  advance. 

During  her  years  at  Fairfield,  Dr.  Kahn  assisted  in  the  development  of  an  interdisci- 
plinary minor  program  in  International  Relations,  and  contributed  to  the  development  of 
the  major  in  International  Studies.  She  also  served  as  a  member  of  the  Connecticut 
Fulbright  Alumni  Association,  a  statewide  organization  of  persons  who  have  received 
Fulbright  Grants. 

Due  to  her  encouragement  and  support  for  applying  for  prestigious  J.  William  Fulbright 
Foreign  Scholarships,  Fairfield  University  has  produced  approximately  11  Fulbright  stu- 
dent scholars  over  the  last  four  years.  Host  countries  for  study  and  research  have 
included  Sri  Lanka,  Hungary,  Bolivia,  Morocco,  Malta,  the  Solomon  Islands,  El  Salvador, 
New  Zealand,  Belize,  and  Korea.  Also,  over  nine  faculty  have  received  Fulbrights  since 
1992,  including  Dr.  Kahn,  herself. 

In  the  summer  of  1994,  Dr.  Kahn  received  a  Fulbright  Grant  that  took  her  to  Korea 
and  Japan.  As  one  of  six  participants  selected  for  the  1994  program  for  International 
Education  Administrators,  Dr.  Kahn  spent  one  week  in  Korea  and  five  weeks  in  Japan 
learning  about  higher  education,  society  and  culture  in  these  overseas  countries.  The 
program  allowed  Dr.  Kahn  to  obtain  a  better  understanding  of  Japanese  and  Korean 
higher  education,  and  also  bridged  Fairfield  University  to  several  universities  in  Japan 
and  Korea.  According  to  Dr.  Kahn,  her  visit  to  Japan  and  Korea  has  helped  to  make  her 
a  better  administrator.  Her  Fulbright  has  enabled  her  to  better  advise  Fulbright  appli- 
cants and  study  abroad  students. 

Additionally,  Dr.  Kahn's  visit  to  Japan  has  allowed  Japanese  Fulbright  Administrators 
to  come  to  Fairfield  University  in  May  1996,  as  part  of  their  nation-wide  tour  of  major 
American  universities,  selected  corporations  and  government  offices. 

A  graduate  of  Dickinson  College  in  Carlisle,  Pa.,  Dr.  Kahn  earned  a  master's  degree 
in  political  science  from  Columbia  University  and  a  doctorate  in  political  science  from 
Indiana  University.  Before  coming  to  Fairfield  in  1990,  she  taught  political  science  at 
the  University  of  South  Carolina  and  The  Ohio  State  University  at  Mansfield  where  she 
served  as  co-coordinator  of  a  federally  funded  mentor  program  for  multicultural  stu- 
dents. 

Among  Dr.  Kahn's  educational  endeavors  includes  a  Fulbright  Research  Scholarship 
for  Italy  in  1984  while  on  sabbatical  leave  as  a  professor  of  political  science  at  The 
Ohio  State  University  at  Mansfield.  Dr.  Kahn  has  developed  a  fondness  for  Italy  since 
she  studied  there.  The  Fulbright  to  Italy  welcomed  Dr.  Kahn  back  to  a  place  where  she 
had  previously  studied  under  the  "Rome  Prize,"  a  post-doctoral  fellowship  from  the 
American  Academy  in  Rome. 

Also  among  the  several  honors  Dr.  Kahn  has  received  are  the  Outstanding  Service 
Award  from  the  NAACP  Mansfield  Branch,  the  Distinguished  Affirmative  Action  Award 
from  The  Ohio  State  University,  and  the  Outstanding  Teacher  Award  for  the  honors 
program  at  the  University  of  South  Carolina. 

Based  on  personal  experience,  Dr.  Kahn  says  she  thinks  study  abroad  programs  are 
important  for  an  individual's  higher  education.  Dr.  Kahn  shares  her  value  for  international 
education  with  students  and  faculty  through  her  role  as  administrator  in  the  College  of 
Arts  and  Sciences.  No  matter  what  role  she  undertakes,  Dr.  Kahn  provides  guidance 
and  support  to  those  who  meet  her  —  wearing  every  hat  that  suits  her.

We  would  like  to  give  Matt  Dinnan  special  thanks  for  his  support  and 
assistance  to  the  yearbook  staff.  In  particular,  we  appreciate  the  help  he 
offered  during  Senior  Week  '95.  In  what  has  come  to  be  known  as  the 
"Senior  Brunch  fiasco,"  Matt  was  a  crucial  player  in  our  dedication  of  the 
1995  Manor  to  Mr.  James  Fitzpatrick.  Also,  as  director  of  campus  center 
operations,  Matt  has  offered  friendly  words  of  encouragement  to  all  Fair- 
field students  throughout  the  year  which  have  added  to  our  experiences 
during  the  last  four  years.  To  Matt  Dinnan,  we  recognize  your  commit- 
ment to  Fairfield  with  sincere  thanks.

and  deliveries.  Additionally,  she  played  a  key  role  in  the  dedication  of  the 
1995  Manor.  She  always  greeted  us  with  a  smile  that  encouraged  us  to 
get  through  difficult  times.  To  Jan  Buswell,  thanks  for  putting  up  with  us!

Hollywood 
Harvest 

Fairfield  University  announced  this  year's 
sold  out  hit:  Hollywood  Harvest.  Yes, 
folks,  over  one  thousand  superstars  from 
The  Orient,  The  Quad,  Dolan  Commons, 
Fairfield  Beach,  and  from  towns  surround- 
ing Fairfield  University  were  brought  to- 
gether under  the  dome  of  Alumni  Hall  to 
celebrate  1995's  Harvest  Weekend.  Glim- 
mering in  sequins  and  satin  and  suited  in 
Mickey  Mouse  ties,  were  nursing  stu- 
dents, writers,  artists,  business  sharks, 
and  their  friends.  Before  the  dance,  sev- 
eral of  these  stars  were  spotted  at  pop- 
ular restaurants  in  the  town,  such  as  Side- 
tracks and  Tommy's.  Some  came  to  din- 
ner incognito,  wearing  masks  and  sun- 
glasses. The  stars'  dates  say  they  had  a 
startle  at  seeing  their  disguised  friends 
during  dinner,  and  were  relieved  when 
they  unveiled  their  faces  at  the  dance. 
Couples  and  singles  alike  enjoyed  the  va- 
riety of  music,  from  Billy  Joel,  to  Kool  and 
the  Gang,  and  slow  tunes  from  Eric  Clap- 
ton. The  evening  concluded  with  large 
groups  kicking  to  the  enchanting  voice  of 
Frank  Sinatra  singing  "New  York,  New 
York."

Issues  of 
Diversity 

FAIRFIELD  UNIVERSITY  TO 

CONDUCT  MAJOR 

CONFERENCE 

ON  DIVERSITY,  CATHOLIC 

HIGHER  EDUCATION 

Faculty,  students  and  administrators  from  50  colleges  across  the  country 
from  the  University  of  Vermont  to  the  University  of  San  Francisco  are 
planning  to  attend  a  major  conference  starting  Friday,  March  1,  at  Fair- 
field University  seeking  ways  to  cope  with  the  rise  in  intolerance  on  cam- 
puses. 

The  conference  entitled  "The  Meaning  of  Multiculturalism  and  Diversity 
for  Catholic  Higher  Education,"  will  feature  two  major  guest  speakers:  the 
Rev.  Gregory  Chisholm,  S.J.,  of  the  University  of  Detroit  Mercy,  and  the 
Rev.  Michael  Himes  of  Boston  College. 

In  addition,  the  conference  will  present  40  academic  papers  as  well  as 
speakers  from  13  colleges  who  will  describe  their  efforts  to  make  changes 
on  their  campuses  and  in  the  curriculum  in  order  to  address  the  issues  of 
diversity. 

Dr.  Gwen  Vendley,  dean  of  students  and  chair  of  the  conference,  ex- 
plained, "There  has  been  an  alarming  rise  in  acts  of  intolerance  on  cam- 
puses across  the  nation.  Catholic  institutions  have  a  particular  imperative 
to  challenge  this  intolerance,  since  we  believe  in  the  God-given  dignity  of 
each  person." 

She  added,  "We  must  learn  from  cultures  on  the  margin  if  we  are  to 
become  a  true  community.  On  most  Catholic  campuses,  the  margins  are 
peopled  by  African-American,  Hispanic,  Asian,  Native  American,  Jewish 
and  Protestant  students  as  well  as  gay  and  lesbian  students.  This  conference 
is  about  listening  and  learning  so  that  we  might  become  campuses  without 
margins." 

As  a  special  feature,  the  conference  will  present  a  workshop  for  students 
only  entitled  "Visualize  and  Vocalize:  A  Leadership  Conference  for  Stu- 
dents of  Color,"  with  panelists  from  the  University  of  San  Francisco. 

The  conference  will  open  Friday  evening,  March  1,  and  offer  the  papers 
starting  on  Saturday  morning,  March  2.  Panels  will  present  research  papers 
and  discuss  topics  labeled  Diversity,  Catholicism  and  Social  Justice;  The- 
ories of  Diversity;  Practical  Strategies  —  Students  and  Diversity;  Diversity 
Concerns  in  Catholic  Thought. 

Also,  Catholic  Sexuality;  Women  and  Catholic  Education;  Pedagogy  and 
Curriculum;  Islam  and  Others. 

Among  the  colleges  that  will  describe  their  approaches  to  diversity  are 
St.  Louis  University,  Trinity  of  Washington,  D.C.,  St.  Anselm's,  Siena, 
Newman,  the  University  of  San  Diego  and  Villanova. 

In  approaching  issues  of  diversity  during  the  two  years,  Fairfield  has 
established  Black  Studies,  Women's  Studies  and  Judaic  Studies  in  addition 
to  its  older  programs  in  Latin  American-Caribbean  Studies  and  Asian 
Studies.  It  also  requires  all  students,  beginning  with  the  class  that  entered 
last  fall,  to  complete  at  least  one  course  in  diversity.

FAIRFIELD  STUDENT'S 
SUMMER  EXPERIENCE 
WITH  CATS 


Michelle  Bernal,  a  psychology  major  at  Fair- 
field University,  spent  two  months  watching 
cats  watch  television.  But  don't  laugh;  there 
was  a  serious  purr-pose  to  her  research. 

Participating  in  a  research  program  entitled 
NSF-REU  (National  Science  Foundation  Re- 
search Experience  for  Undergraduates)  at 
Pennsylvania  State  University,  Michele,  a  sen- 
ior from  Englewood,  N.J.,  worked  with  three 
cats,  Gonzalez,  a  female  black  and  white  "sca- 
redy  cat";  Sorbet,  a  male  gray  and  white  cat 
who  bit  her  when  he  was  nervous;  and  Rough- 
ie,  a  male  orange  and  white  cat  who  was  "the 
fastest,  the  smartest  and  my  favorite."  All  the 
cats  were  two-years-old  calicos  and  were 
very  responsive  as  well  as  playful ,  according  to 
Michelle. 

She  and  seven  other  students  from  all  over 
the  country  were  selected  for  the  eight-week 
research  program,  under  the  teaching  of  Dr. 
Paul  Cornwell,  a  psychology  professor.  Dr. 
Comwell  wanted  to  determine  which  area  of  the  cats'  brains  is  responsible  for  the  discrimination  of  speed.  Michelle  conducted  trial  experiments 
by  placing  one  cat  at  a  time  in  a  'grace  box',  a  four-foot  long  box  with  a  wooden  door  at  one  end  and  a  glass  door  at  the  other  end,  where  the 
cats  could  look  out  and  see  two  television  screens.  Each  screen  had  a  series  of  dots  moving  at  different  speeds. 

Michelle  explained,  "The  cats  were  trained  to  always  go  to  the  TV  screen  where  the  dots  were  going  at  two  miles  per  hour.  There  are  bits  of 
canned  mackerel  hidden  on  top  of  the  screen  for  reinforcement. 

The  cat  comes  out  of  the  grace  box,  looks  at  the  two  screens  and  walks  up  to  the  screen  behind  which  the  food  is  hidden.  If  the  cat  finds  the 
food,  it  knows  it  has  made  the  right  decision.  Pretty  soon,  the  cat  would  know  that  the  screen  with  the  objects  going  at  two  miles  an  hour  had  the 
food." 

The  cats  were  first  taught  to  tell  the  difference  between  two  miles  and  1 5  miles  per  hour.  The  had  to  repeat  this  process  50  times  before  moving 
on  to  the  next  levels,  which  finally  had  the  cats  discriminating  between  2  and  2%  miles  per  hour. 

Michelle  had  to  record  each  time  the  cat  guessed  right  and  when  it  was  wrong.  Each  time  the  cat  was  right  and  ate  the  food,  Michelle  had  to 
remove  the  cat,  put  more  food  in  and  then  put  the  cat  back  in.  "I  was  literally  opening  and  closing  doors  150  times  a  day,"  she  said. 

Of  all  the  cats,  Roughie  was  the  brightest  and  made  it  to  each  new  level  first.  But  Michelle  thinks  it  was  amazing  how  quickly  all  the  cats  learned. 
She  said,  "The  cats  rarely  made  a  mistake  discriminating  between  dots  moving  at  two  miles  per  hour  and  four  miles  per  hour,  but  they  made 
several  mistakes  discriminating  between  2  miles  an  hour  and  2%  miles  per  hour." 

Michelle  worked  25  hours  a  week  in  the  lab  and  wrote  a  paper  with  Dr.  Cornwell  on  how  the  cats  were  trained  and  how  fast  they  learned.  The 
paper  will  be  published  in  a  science  journal  after  the  experiments  are  continued  at  Boston  University  this  year. 

Michelle  learned  about  the  research  program  during  her  junior  year  at  Fairfield,  in  a  class  in  experimental  psychology.  She  originally  wanted  to 
be  a  clinical  psychologist,  but  as  a  result  of  the  project,  she  has  decided  to  attend  graduate  school  for  a  doctorate  in  social  psychology  research. 
"Ideally  I  want  to  be  a  college  professor  and  have  my  own  lab  wherever  I  teach,"  she  said. 

The  daughter  of  Frank  and  Josephine  Bernal  of  Englewood,  N.J.,  Michelle  attended  the  Academy  of  the  Holy  Angels  High  School.  During  her 
three  and  a  half  years  at  Fairfield,  Michelle  has  been  a  member  of  PSI-CHI,  the  National  Psychology  Honor  Society,  and  is  the  vice-president  of 
Education.  She  also  volunteers  at  the  Bridgeport  YWCA  as  a  rape-domestic  violence  counselor  on  Tuesday  evenings. 

Reflecting  back  on  her  project,  Michelle  described  it  as  "a  lot  of  fun."  She  explained  that  the  purpose  of  the  research  was  to  understand  every 
aspect  of  the  cats'  brains,  because  it  would  be  impossible  to  study  everything  on  a  human.  "However,  if  someone  has  a  stroke,  by  studying  similar 
behavior  in  a  cat,  we  can  tell  which  section  of  the  brain  has  been  hit,"  she  said.  Michelle  also  enjoyed  the  opportunity  to  work  with  cats.  She 
commented,  "I  really  miss  them  and  I  speak  to  Dr.  Cornwell  on  a  regular  basis  about  how  they  are  doing."

BUSINESS  STUDENTS 
RACE  TOWARD  TOP 
GRADES 


Some  120  sophomores  at  Fairfield  University  may  find  that  speed  counts 
when  they  compete  for  top  grades  in  their  course  in  "Creating  a  Com- 
petitive Advantage."  Enrolled  in  the  School  of  Business,  they  are  learning 
to  combine  skills  in  production  and  operations  management,  organiza- 
tional behavior,  marketing  and  finance  by  building  soap  box  racers  that  are 
84  inches  long  and  can  accelerate  up  to  45  miles  per  hour. 

The  students  are  dealing  with  the  pressures  of  time  management,  conflict  and  teamwork  in  a  class  that  has 
become  known  for  its  challenges.  Last  semester,  students  developed  marketing  plans  to  help  the  Newman's 
Own  line  of  salad  dressings,  salsa,  and  popcorn  sell  its  products  on  college  campuses.  The  previous  semester, 
the  class  stressed  teamwork  as  students  built  seven-foot  long  remote-control  model  airplanes  —  some  of  which 
actually  flew. 

"Clarity,  clarity,  clarity,"  is  the  focus  of  the  project,  according  to  Dr.  Michael  Cavanaugh,  assistant  professor  of 
management  who  is  teaching  the  course  with  Dr.  Lucy  Katz,  professor  of  management,  and  Dr.  Walter  Hlawitsch- 
ka,  associate  professor  of  finance.  According  to  Dr.  Cavanaugh,  half  the  challenge  of  building  the  soap  box  racers 
is  achieving  a  clear  long-range  plan.  Therefore,  the  first  part  of  the  semester  is  devoted  to  developing  communi- 
cation skills  and  learning  how  to  overcome  problems  in  a  competitive  environment.  Precise  inventory  and  good 
team  communication  are  stressed  as  important  elements  in  making  a  fast,  sporty  car.  The  soap  box  racers  then 
become  a  "vehicle"  for  team  dynamics,  says  Dr.  Cavanaugh. 

Students  are  divided  into  twelve  teams  often,  and  each  team  will  build  its  own  gravity- powered  soap  box  racer, 
using  two  pieces  of  plywood  for  the  base  and  polyurethane  plastic  for  the  body.  Jigsaws,  electric  screwdrivers, 
and  miscellaneous  tools  are  available  on  campus,  where  National  Soap  Box  Derby  "wizard"  Jack  Santerro,  assists 
students  during  lab  hours.  Each  car  is  expected  to  cost  $450  for  the  parts,  lumber,  and  tools. 

A  driver  for  each  team  will  be  selected  to  test  the  cars  on  campus  at  the  end  of  the  semester  in  full  view  of 
spectators  at  a  site  still  to  be  chosen.  The  teams  will  be  evaluated  on  the  quality  of  the  car's  performance,  condition 
and  design. 

Dr.  Cavanaugh  says,  "The  project  allows  the  students  to  literally  feel  the  lessons."  The  soap  box  racers  add 
spontaneity  and  experiences  that  cannot  be  taught  or  felt  through  a  textbook. 

"Creating  a  Competitive  Advantage"  is  the  second  part  of  an  interdisciplinary  sequence  of  business  fundamental 
courses  that  begin  with  Business  Decision  Making.

As  freshmen,  we 
entered  the  class- 
room halls  knowing 
very  little  about  college; 
we  were  open  to  receiv- 
ing wisdom  from  our 
professors.  Then,  we 
became  sophomores 
and  thought  we  knew  it 
all.  As  juniors,  we  real- 
ized we  don't  know 
much  and  couldn't  in- 
gest all  the  information 
that  we  wanted  to  re- 
ceive. Finally,  as  seniors, 
we  knew  a  lot  more  than 
when  we  started  and  we

1 1  Dr.  Retjan  says  her 
goal  is  to  teach  students 
to  discuss  building  'cul- 
tural bridges  between 
peoples  and  coun- 
tries. '  *  9 


Dr.  Rajan  and  a  colleague  from  New  Zealand,  Radhika  Mohanram, 
have  co-edited  two  books,  Postcolonial  Discourse  and  Changing 
Cultural  Contexts  and  English  Postcoloniality:  Literatures  From 
Around  the  World.  In  the  two  years  that  it  took  to  complete  the 
research,  Dr.  Rajan  focused  on  British  colonization,  and  its  impact 
upon  women  in  particular.  She  said  that  the  purpose  of  the  books  was 
not  to  "categorically  criticize"  the  British,  but  to  encourage  people 
today  to  learn  from  the  mistakes  of  the  past.  Her  aim  was  to  show 
how  cultures  can  react  and  exist  simultaneously. 

"A  cultural  bridge  which  connects  prominent  issues  in  America 
today  with  those  Europe  and  other  countries"  is  how  Dr.  Rajan 
described  her  book.  She  is  interested  in  the  subject  of  postcoloniality 
because  it  has  to  do  with  culture,  art,  literature,  politics  —  everything 
that  connects  a  person  to  the  world  and  others.  The  book  explores 
this  notion  of  postcoloniality  in  India,  Africa,  Australia,  Canada,  New 
Zealand  and  the  United  States. 

In  only  her  second  year  of  teaching  at  Fairfield,  Dr.  Rajan  has 
taught  eleven  courses,  six  of  which  she  has  designed.  Her  most 
memorable  ones  are  "Pleasurable  Decadence"  and 
"Representations." 

Dr.  Rajan  said,  "I  have  charming,  wonderful  students  with  an 
energy  and  enthusiasm  that  is  exciting  to  invoke."

Dr.  Judy  Primavera 


What  could  be  more 
comforting  to  stu- 
dents than  when 
away  from  mom  and 
dad  they  have  a  professor  who 
is  just  as  concerned  and  inter- 
ested in  their  development  and 
welfare  as  their  parents?  That 
professor  is  Dr.  Judy  Primave- 
ra, and  she  openly  admits  that 
she  wants  to  be  viewed  by  her 
students  as  more  than  just  a 
mentor.  "I  see  myself  as  a  sur- 
rogate parent.  I  treat  my  stu- 
dents as  I  do  my  own  children 
—  with  dignity,  respect  and  en- 
thusiasm for  what  they  are  ex- 
cited about." 

In  gratitude  for  that  type  of 
dedication,  Dr.  Primavera,  as- 
sociate professor  of  psycholo- 
gy, has  been  named  Teacher  of 
the  Year  by  Alpha  Sigma  Nu, 
which  is  the  national  honor  so- 
ciety of  Jesuit  colleges  and  uni- 
versities. She  will  be  presented  with  an  award  by  the  gradu- 
ating members  of  the  honor  society  at  the  senior-faculty 
brunch  on  Wednesday,  May  15. 

Dr.  Primavera  nurtures  the  strengths  of  her  students,  chal- 
lenges them  to  augment  their  scholarly  pursuits  with  field 
work  (like  a  concerned  parent,  she  doesn't  let  them  wander 
into  dangerous  situations  but  puts  them  in  touch  with  pro- 
fessionals), and  impresses  upon  them  the  need  to  use  their 
knowledge  and  experience  to  benefit  humankind. 

"While  I  stress  critical  thinking,  I  encourage  them  to  apply 


it  to  the  real  world.  If  they're  learning  how  people  think,  they 
should  challenge  the  way  schools  are  set  up,  the  effective- 
ness of  the  welfare  system,  and  whether  systems  of  nursing 
care  maximize  the  potential  of  the  elderly.  If  not,  I  ask  them 
what  are  we  going  to  do  about  it?"  said  Dr.  Primavera,  who 
teaches  courses  in  Developmental  Psychology,  Psychosocial 
Problems  of  Childhood,  Developmental  Psychology,  and 
Family  Violence.

Wynton  Marsalis  Headlines 
Jazz  at  Lincoln  Center  Series 
At  Quick  Center 

Grammy  Award-winning  musi- 
cian Wynton  Marsalis  led  the  Lin- 
coln Center  Jazz  Orchestra  in  a 
tribute  to  Jelly  Roll  Morton  and 
Thelonious  Monk  on  Friday,  Feb. 
23,  at  8  p.m.,  at  the  Quick  Center 
for  the  Arts.  The  swinging  evening 
featured  blues,  bebop  and  New  Or- 
leans grooves,  as  well  as  some 
original  tunes  by  Marsalis. 

Marsalis  has  been  at  the  forefront 
of  the  jazz  renaissance  since  the 
early  1980's.  Most  critics  agree 
there  would  have  been  no  jazz  re- 
vival without  his  tireless  leadership, 
and  he  has  continuously  immersed 
himself  in  a  multitude  of  projects, 
reaching  out  as  a  performer,  com- 
poser and  educator.  Last  year,  he 
even  made  his  debut  on  the  World 
Wide  Web. 

Marsalis'  concert  at  the  Quick 
Center  offered  some  interesting  ar- 
rangements of  such  Thelonius 
Monk  classics  as  "Monk's  Mood," 
"Reflections,"  and  "Green  Chim- 
neys." Monk  is  considered  by 
many  to  be  the  most  original  com- 
poser in  the  post-war  modern  jazz 
era,  and  his  elaboration  of  the  Har- 
lem stride  piano  style  and  love  of 
the  blues  are  showcased  in  angular, 
playful  compositions  such  as 
"Criss  Cross,"  "I  Mean  You,"  and 
"Crepuscule  with  Nellie."

STUDENT  ART  EXHIBIT 

The  Walsh  Gallery  at  the  Quick  Center  for  the  Arts  is  one  which 
consistently  displays  a  variety  of  distinctive  exhibits  and  work  by  well- 
known  artists.  What  may  be  the  most  exciting  exhibit  at  the  gallery, 
however,  is  not  necessarily  those  most  famous,  like  the  Metropolitan 
Museum  of  Art's  visiting  cast  collection,  but  the  final  show  of  the  ac- 
ademic year,  a  compilation  of  work  done  by  Fairfield  University's  own 
most  talented  student  artists.  The  1 996  student  exhibit  ran  for  several 
weeks,  through  graduation,  so  that  students,  faculty  and  families 
could  all  have  ample  time  to  admire  the  art. 

When  entering  the  Walsh  Gallery,  the  high  caliber  of  the  art,  as  well 
as  the  precision  of  the  exhibit's  layout  was  apparent.  The  student 
works  were  arranged  and  numbered  meticulously,  with  great  atten- 
tion to  placement  and  detail.  It  is  this  exhibit,  in  terms  of  both  artistic 
creation  and  behind-the-scenes  coordination  which  most  fully  rep- 
resents the  culmination  of  Fairfield  University  students'  hard  work  and 
achievement  in  the  art  department  throughout  the  academic  year. 

One  of  the  most  diverse  artistic  collections  displayed  at  the  Walsh 
Gallery  this  season,  the  student  exhibit  was  thoughtfully  put  together 
to  create  a  true  mosaic  of  mediums  and  subjects.  Included  in  the 
assortment  were  paintings,  photographs,  hanging  sculptures,  and 
papier  mache  works.  The  exhibit  captured  viewers'  attention  in  a  bold, 
striking  manner  from  the  moment  they  stepped  past  the  visitors' 
desk.  Hung  high  on  the  initial  wall  was  an  oversized  portrait  of  a  sinu- 
ous human  back,  by  Ryka  Kurdyla,  incredibly  detailed  and  exact  in  its 
curves  and  taut  muscle  definition,  surprisingly  done  in  vibrant  shades 
of  green  and  orange.  Not  far  beyond  this  painting,  an  interesting 
sculpture  of  an  enlarged  coffee  cup,  steam  evaporating,  was  sus- 
pended from  fishing  line,  followed  by  a  novel  viewer-interactive  piece 
by  Joseph  Cooney.  Cooney  asked  his  viewers  to  walk  back  and  forth 
along  a  low,  wooden  plank,  patterned  with  painted  footsteps  while 
turning  the  pages  of  an  elongated  book  propped  on  a  stand.  This 
allowed  participants  to  aid  in  the  creation  of  audible  art  from  Cooney 's 
work,  as  the  rustle  of  the  page  turning  and  the  rhythmic  stepping  of 
feet  intermingled. 

Set  in  the  center  of  the  gallery  was  a  portion  of  a  living  room,  waiting 
to  surprise  visitors,  complete  with  chairs,  table,  rug  and  most  intrigu- 
ingly,  a  number  of  altered  black  and  white  photographs,  the  focus  of 
the  scene,  hanging  on  the  striped  wallpapered  walls.  Two  other  piec- 
es worthy  of  mention,  both  by  Allanah  MacPherson,  were  settled 
close  together.  One  was  a  handmade  quilt  onto  which  the  scenes  of 
places  and  landscapes  from  the  artist's  life  had  been  transposed.  The 
other,  in  which  MacPherson  constructed  an  entirely  blue  room,  con- 
sisting of  a  bed  with  crumpled  sheets  and  handprints  on  the  pillow 
and  pealing  window  panes  served  as  an  innovative  representation  of 
insomnia. 

One  of  the  last  displays,  once  again  done  by  Ryka  Kurdyla,  was  an 
arrangement  of  30  or  more  small,  square  portraits  of  a  variety  of 
Fairfield  students,  all  done  with  dark  green  backgrounds,  depicting  a 
myriad  of  expressions  and  personalities  in  exacting  detail.  This  work 
was  one  of  the  clearest  representations  of  the  time-consuming  effort 
art  students  have  put  into  their  work.  Clearly,  the  student  exhibit 
served  as  a  promising  and  exciting  reflection  of  the  potential  and  ability 
of  Fairfield  students.

Mark  Reed,  a  resident  of  Huntingdon  Valley,  Pa.,  who  has  served  as  president  of  the  Fairfield 
University  Student  Association ,  was  selected  to  receive  the  St.  Ignatius  Loyola  Medal  at  the  university's 
commencement  on  Sunday,  May  19.  This  award  is  the  highest  honor  bestowed  by  the  Alumni  As- 
sociation to  a  graduating  senior  and  is  presented  to  the  student  who  best  exemplifies  the  spirit  of  the 
Jesuit  education  provided  by  Fairfield  University. 

Following  graduation,  Mark  plans  to  return  to  Philadelphia's  St.  Joseph's  Prep  where  he  attended 
high  school  and  will  teach  math. 

Mark's  involvement  in  student  activities  started  early  in  his  Fairfield  career  through  his  participation 
in  residence  hall  government  and  as  co-chair  of  Freshman  Orientation.  Fran  Koerting,  director  of 
Programs  for  New  Students  who  has  worked  closely  with  Mark,  said,  "He  struck  the  delicate  balance 
between  being  a  friend  and  a  leader  of  his  peers,  and  earning  the  respect  and  trust  of  students  and 
administrators." 

While  serving  as  Student  Association  president,  Mark  broadened  the  scope  of  campus  government 
and  strengthened  the  commitment  to  diversity  by  creating  the  Multicultural  Branch  of  his  Presidential 
Cabinet  for  cultural  programming.  He  was  instrumental  in  developing  Fairfield's  "Midnight  Madness," 
a  pep  rally  at  the  start  of  the  basketball  season;  commissioned  a  new  university  fight  song;  and  inspired 
the  development  of  the  '  Advising  Guide  for  Undergraduate  Students' '  for  faculty. 

Through  the  Campus  Ministry,  Mark  served  as  a  Mission  Volunteer  in  Duran,  Ecuador,  where  he 
worked  in  a  two-week  service  program  that  included  educational  instruction,  athletic  coaching,  hos- 
pital visitation,  and  construction  work.  Regarding  his  experience  in  Ecuador,  Mark  said,  "It  was  a 
humbling  experience  and  one  I  will  never  forget." 

A  math  major,  Mark  is  a  member  of  Alpha  Sigma  Nu,  the  National  Jesuit  Honor  Society,  and  the 
Mathematics  Honor  Society,  Pi  Mu  Epsilon.  As  a  result  of  his  experiences  at  Fairfield,  he  plans  to 
pursue  a  career  in  teaching  and  will  begin  at  St.  Joseph's  Prep  as  part  of  a  year-long  alumni  service 
program.

Maria  Santomauro,  a  student  at  Fairfield  University  from  Westfield,  N.J.,  was  named  to  receive  the 
William  J.  Kramer  Humanitarian  Award  presented  annually  by  the  Alumni  Association  to  the  senior  whose 
commitment  to  voluntarism  and  service  to  others  had  a  significant  impact  on  the  external  community. 
The  award  was  created  to  honor  the  memory  of  the  first  alumnus  of  Fairfield  University  to  serve  as 
chairman  of  its  board  of  trustees  and  recognizes  activities  that  go  beyond  the  campus. 

Maria  demonstrated  the  spirit  of  voluntarism  on  campus  as  well  by  serving  as  a  first-year  facilitator  for 
the  past  three  years,  as  a  member  of  the  Freshman  Orientation  executive  board  and  for  three  years  as 
a  Eucharistic  Minister.  She  is  also  a  member  of  Pi  Mu  Epsilon,  the  National  Humanities  Honor  Society. 

As  co-chair  for  the  past  two  years  of  the  campus  participation  in  the  National  Student  Campaign  Against 
Hunger  and  Homelessness,  she  organized  a  drive  that  won  Fairfield  University  first  place  over  larger 
universities  in  the  number  of  student  volunteers  and  the  money  collected  to  help  the  needy.  Through  her 
efforts,  275  Fairfield  students  raised  funds  for  the  National  Campaign  through  sponsorships  in  return  for 
performing  chores  at  such  sites  as  senior  centers  and  soup  kitchens.  To  mark  the  students'  achievement, 
she  received  a  plaque  from  the  National  Campaign  in  ceremonies  held  at  Madison  Square  Garden. 

For  the  past  six  years,  Maria,  a  graduate  of  Westfield  High  School,  has  spent  one  week  each  summer 
as  a  volunteer  counselor  at  the  Mid-Hudson  Valley  Camp  for  hemophiliacs  and  children  with  cancer. 
Located  at  the  Marist  Brothers  retreat  house  in  Esopus,  N.Y.,  the  camp  was  started  by  members  of 
Maria's  parish  in  honor  of  a  nun  stricken  with  cancer.  Her  responsibilities  at  the  camp  started  out  modestly 
as  a  kitchen  worker  at  age  16,  and  have  grown  to  those  of  a  counselor.  Maria  works  alongside  her  mother 
at  the  camp,  and  she  credits  her  parents  for  their  example  which  has  given  her  the  dedication  to  help 
others. 

In  addition  to  her  work  at  the  camp,  Maria  spent  two  weeks  in  Jamaica  last  year  as  part  of  the  Campus 
Ministry  Mission  Volunteer  Program  and  worked  at  the  Alpha  Boys  Home,  an  orphanage  for  boys,  where 
she  painted,  planted  and  scrubbed. 

After  graduation,  she  plans  to  continue  serving  by  joining  the  Jesuit  Volunteer  Corp  for  a  possible  inner 
city  assignment.  "I  can't  imagine  volunteer  work  not  being  part  of  my  life,"  she  commented.

Frank  Riccio,  a  resident  of  Bridgeport,  was  honored  by  the  university's  alumni 
association  for  his  contributions  to  the  Jazz  Ensemble  and  his  academic  excellence 
at  Fairfield  University.  A  pianist  and  band  leader,  Frank  was  key  to  the  Jazz  Ensem- 
ble's strength  and  popularity,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Glee  Club  and  the  campus 
radio  station. 

"Frank  added  enthusiasm,  dedication,  and  professionalism  to  the  Jazz  Ensemble," 
said  Brian  Torff,  director  of  the  Ensemble  and  the  university's  music  program.  "He 
has  directed  the  group  when  I  could  not  be  there  and  has  contributed  energies  ways 
beyond  the  norm." 

In  addition  to  being  an  instrumentalist,  Frank  has  written  jazz  compositions  which 
he  performed  at  university  concerts.  He  also  began  a  jazz  quartet,  which  performed 
at  libraries,  schools,  and  last  summer  at  the  Special  Olympics  World  Games  in  New 
Haven.  "It's  great  to  use  everything  you  learn  and  apply  it,"  said  Frank. 

When  not  working  on  the  keyboard,  Frank  was  the  manager  at  the  student  radio 
station.  He  developed  a  marketing  campaign  and  logo,  and  penned  the  station's 
catch  phrase  "A  World  of  Music." 

Frank  plans  to  attend  law  school.

Alumni  Achievement  Award 


Mark  Potter,  a  native  of  Bridgeport  and  current  resident  of  Dunwoody,  Ga,  received 
the  Student  Achievement  Award  by  the  university's  alumni  association  for  leadership, 
academic  excellence  and  service  to  the  community. 

Mark  received  a  bachelor's  degree  in  philosophy  and  religious  studies  at  the  universi- 
ty's commencement  in  May,  and  is  a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa,  the  national  academic 
honor  society.  As  a  senior,  he  also  was  inducted  into  Alpha  Sigma  Nu,  the  university's 
chapter  of  the  national  Jesuit  honor  society,  and  received  the  highest  academic  awards 
from  the  university's  Philosophy  and  Religious  Studies  Departments. 

In  addition  to  his  academic  achievements,  Mark  throughout  his  college  career  devoted 
his  time  to  others  through  his  involvement  in  education,  awareness  programs  and  com- 
munity service.  In  receiving  the  Student  Achievement  Award,  he  was  honored  for  his 
leadership  in  the  Campus  Ministry's  Urban  Plunge  program  in  which  students  spend  the 
week-long  spring  break  in  Bridgeport  and  Hartford  serving  in  soup  kitchens,  schools, 
homeless  ehtlers  and  half-way  houses,  and  Substance  Abuse  Task  Force,  having  served 
at  the  request  of  the  Dean  of  students,  which  educates  students  on  the  dangers  of 
alcohol  abuse. 

As  a  leader  of  the  Urban  Plunge,  Potter  said  he  set  out  to  give  something  back  to  the 
City  of  Bridgeport.  He  spent  the  four  spring  breaks  in  Bridgeport  working  at  community 
service  programs,  homeless  shelters,  and  with  local  activists.  "My  father  grew  up  in 
Bridgeport,"  said  Mark.  "I  wanted  to  go  there  and  give  back  to  the  community  that  gave 
my  father  so  much." 

Mark  plans  to  attend  graduate  school,  but  is  contemplating  returning  to  Bridgeport 
before  he  pursues  an  advanced  degree.  "I'd  like  to  live  out  a  real  commitment  to  Brid- 
geport while  I'm  still  young  and  have  the  ability  to  work  for  change."

Stephen  Borla,  a  resident  of  Winsted,  has  received  an  Alumni  Achievement  Award  at  Fairfield  Uni- 
versity for  his  concern  for  social  justice,  community  activism  and  the  welfare  of  others.  Since  his 
freshman  year  at  the  university,  he  has  devoted  his  spring  breaks  to  the  Urban  Plunge  program,  a 
week-long  community  service  project  in  an  inner  city  environment.  He  also  served  as  Mission  Vol- 
unteer in  Belize,  Ecuador,  where  a  group  of  Fairfield  students  lived  among  the  very  poor  and  provided 
tutoring  for  children,  helped  build  schoolrooms  and  cared  for  the  sick. 

As  a  student  leader,  he  volunteered  in  Bridgeport  for  two  years  and  this  year  extended  the  program 
to  Hartford  with  the  Rev.  Paul  Holland,  S.J.,  campus  minister.  During  the  week-long  program,  he 
worked  with  Habitat  For  Humanity  and  helped  build  low-income  housing. 

"The  program  educated  me  about  city  life,"  said  Steve,  who  is  also  a  member  of  Alpha  Sigma  Nu, 
the  national  Jesuit  honor  society. 

He  also  started  a  faith  discussion  group  which  met  weekly  during  the  school  year  for  students  and 
faculty  to  discuss  how  to  apply  tenets  of  social  justice  in  everyday  life.  His  second  visit  to  Belize  working 
in  a  hospital  clinic  with  patients,  he  said,  strengthened  his  desire  to  attend  medical  school. 

A  member  of  Fairfield  University  Student  Association  —  the  student  government  —  he  served  as 
director  of  academics,  working  on  the  improvement  of  library  facilities  and  the  addition  of  a  diversity 
requirement  in  the  core  curriculum.  His  work  with  Fairfield  Connects,  a  discussion  group  comprising 
students  and  deans,  has  strengthened  ties  between  students  and  administrators. 

After  graduation,  he  plans  to  join  the  Catholic  Workers  in  New  Haven  to  participate  in  projects  that 
improve  the  well-being  and  empower  people  in  their  neighborhoods.  "I  want  to  marry  my  beliefs  in 
action,"  he  said.

Alumni  Achievement  Awiird 


A  senior  at  Fairfield  University  from  Freehold,  N.J.,  has  been  named  to  receive  the  Alumni  Achieve- 
ment Award  for  establishing  a  campus  wide  interest  in  environmental  issues.  Inspired  by  faculty 
members  in  the  Department  of  Environmental  Studies,  Mark  R.  Mahoney,  a  graduate  of  Christian 
Brothers  Academy  in  Lincroft,  N.J.,  developed  the  Student  Environmental  Association  (SEA)  and 
became  its  president. 

Noting  his  continued  effort  to  raise  awareness  of  environmental  issues,  the  alumni  citation  for  Mark 
commented,  "He  has  gone  beyond  the  call  of  duty  to  enrich  the  Fairfield  community." 

As  a  passionate  advocate  for  the  environment,  he  met  with  U.S.  Rep.  Nancy  Johnson  (R-Conn.)  to 
discuss  legislation,  particularly  the  Clean  Water  Act,  and  concerns  about  the  pollution  of  Long  Island 
Sound.  To  increase  environmental  education,  he  presented  a  workshop  at  nearby  Fairfield  Woods 
Middle  School  for  seventh  and  eighth  graders  entitled,  "Ozone  Depletion:  A  Global  Crisis."  He  was 
also  instrumental  in  pressing  the  university  to  organize  environmental  and  biology  courses  into  an 
environmental  studies  minor. 

His  work  on  environmental  issues  earned  him  a  $3,000  grant  for  independent  research  from  the 
University's  Program  in  Environmental  Studies  and  the  Olin  Corporation  Charitable  Trust,  and  an 
appointment  by  U.S.  Sen.  Joseph  Lieberman  (D-Conn.)  to  the  Environmental  Affairs  Advisory  Com- 
mittee. 

His  concerns  for  the  well-being  of  people  also  prompted  him  to  join  with  the  North  American  Mission 
Experience  to  help  build  homes  for  the  needy  in  Kentucky,  serving  with  the  Christian  Appalachian 
Project. 

Mark  plans  to  attend  law  school  and  concentrate  on  environmental  law.  "My  experiences  at  Fairfield 
have  strengthened  my  decision  to  go  into  environmental  law  and  become  an  environmental  advo- 
cate," he  said.

Rees  Named  Stag  Soccer  Coach 

Fairfield  University  Athletic  Director,  Eugene  P.  Doris  has  announced  that 
Carl  T.  Rees  has  accepted  the  position  of  head  men's  soccer  coach.  Rees  comes 
to  Fairfield  after  spending  the  last  four  years  at  nationally  ranked  Hartwick 
College,  in  Oneonta,  NY,  as  an  assistant  coach. 

Rees  played  with  Liverpool  Football  Club  before  embarking  on  an  outstand- 
ing collegiate  career  at  Hartwick  College.  As  a  four-year  starter,  Rees  played 
in  all  83  games  for  the  Hawks  from  1984  to  1987.  In  that  time,  Hartwick  posted 
a  56-20-7  record  and  earned  four  NCAA  Division  I  playoff  berths,  including  two 
trips  to  the  Final  Four  in  1984  and  1985. 

Originally  from  Bebington,  England,  Rees  was  the  Hartwick  captain  for  his 
junior  and  senior  seasons.  After  starting  for  three  years  as  a  defender,  Rees 
moved  to  forward  his  senior  season  and  led  the  team  in  scoring  with  10  goals 
and  four  assists.  He  finished  his  career  with  24  goals  and  assisting  on  13  others. 

Rees  received  all-region  honors  twice  in  his  career  and  was  named  to  the 
Soccer  America  All-Freshman  team  in  1984.  Rees,  a  regular  on  the  Dean's  List, 
graduated  from  Hartwick  in  1988  with  a  double  major  in  psychology  and  phi- 
losophy. 

Rees  then  spent  two  years  playing  with  the  Albany  Capitals  of  the  American 
Professional  Soccer  League  and  as  an  assistant  coach  of  Plattsburgh  State.  He 
received  a  masters  degree  in  education  from  Frostburg  State  (MD)  where  he 
was  also  the  graduate  assistant  coach  for  the  men's  varsity  soccer  program. 

He  is  currently  a  Region  I  Olympic  Development  coach  and  holds  a  USSF 
"B"  license.  Rees  also  holds  a  National  Soccer  Coaches  Association  of  America 
Advanced  National  Diploma. 

Rees  worked  the  1994  World  Cup  as  a  technical  advisor  for  FIFA  in  assisting 
the  German  Coaching  Association. 

He  played  with  the  Albany  Alleycats  of  the  USISL  in  the  summer  of  1995  until 
sidelined  by  a  knee  injury. 

Rees  replaces  Jim  McElderry,  who  served  as  the  interim  coach  for  the  1995 
season.

Stags  have  record  setting  day! 

Today  marks  the  last  regular  season  home 
meet  for  the  Stags  this  winter.  The  men  and 
women  have  run  their  respective  records  to  2- 
9.  In  their  last  outing  in  the  pool  the  Stags  were 
quite  impressive  as  they  took  on  Holy  Cross. 
The  Crusaders  were  victorious  on  the  score- 
board but  the  Stags  set  seven  new  school  re- 
cords. 

For  the  men,  freshman  Chris  Warenkiewicz 
set  two  records,  one  in  the  200  medley  (2:18.52) 
and  one  in  the  200  butterfly  (2:19.33).  Junior, 
captain  Mike  Griek  set  another  record  as  he 
broke  the  100  backstroke  with  a  time  of  1:03.63. 
The  men  also  set  records  in  the  400  medley 
relay  and  the  400  freestyle  relay  events. 

Over  in  the  women's  lanes,  freshman  stand- 
out Nancy  Longo  set  the  200  breaststroke  rec- 
ord at  2:51.40  while  also  helping  the  400  med- 
ley relay  team  set  a  record  in  a  time  of  4:50.99. 

Fairfield  University  and  the  swim  program 
would  like  to  thank  all  of  the  seniors  for  their 
hard  work  both  in  and  out  of  the  pool  and  wish 
you  the  best  of  luck  at  the  MAAC  Champion- 
ships and  any  future  endeavors.

For  the  first  time  in 
10  years,  the 
men's  basketball  team 
wins  a  MAAC  title  and 
earns  a  bid  to  the  NIT 
Basketball  tournament. 


Stags  Earn  Bid  to  1996  NIT 
Basketball  Tournament  It 

was  announced  last  night  by 
the  National  Invitational  Tour- 


5  tag  fans  of  any  age 
supported  the  men's 
basketball  team  to  create 
the  crazed  spirit  known 
as  Stagmania. 


ished  the  year  at  17-11  overall 
and  9-9  in  the  BIG  EAST.  The 
game  has  an  added  twist  as  Fri- 
ar head  coach  Pete  Gillen  is  a 
1968  Fairfield  University  grad 
and  former  Stag  basketball  and 
baseball  player. 

The  last  time  that  the  Stags 
qualified  for  a  national  post-sea- 
son tournament  was  in  1987 
when  Fairfield  won  its  second 
consecutive  Metro  Atlantic  Ath- 
letic Conference  (MAAC)  Tour- 
nament crown  and  berth  in  the 
NCAA  Tournament.  Fairfield 
faced  eventual  national  cham- 
pion Indiana.  The  Stags  have 


Chanting  "DE- 
FENSE," the  crowd

nament  (NIT)  Committee  that 
the  Fairfield  University  Stags 
have  earned  a  spot  in  the  32- 
team,  1996  NIT  Tournament. 
Fairfield  is  scheduled  to  meet 
the  Providence  College  Friars, 
from  the  BIG  EAST,  in  the  first 
round  at  the  New  Haven  Coli- 
seum, on  March  15  with  tip-off 
set  for  7:30  pm. 

The  Providence  Friars  fin- 


made  three  previous  NIT  ap- 
pearances with  the  last  coming 
18  years  ago  in  1978  when  they 
faced  Dayton.  Fairfield  reached 
the  NIT  in  1973  and  1974  as  well. 
The  Stags  finished  the  1996 
season  at  20-9  overall  and  Metro 
Atlantic  Athletic  Conference 
(MAAC)  Regular  Season  Co- 
Champions  with  a  10-4  mark. 
The  Stags  also  made  it  to  the  fi- 


nals of  the  MAAC  Tournament 
before  bowing  to  Canisius  Col- 
lege 52-46. 

Fairfield  finished  strongly 
winning  nine  of  its  last  11 
games  enroute  to  the  program's 
best  record  since  1986  when  the 
Stags  finished  at  24-7.  It  also 
marked  just  the  second  winning 
season  in  the  last  1 0  years,  both 
under  the  direction  of  Coach 
Paul  Cormier  the  MAAC's  1996 
Coach  of  the  Year. 

As  one  of  the  most  productive 
offensive  teams  in  the  MAAC, 
Fairfield  swept  four  teams  dur- 
ing the  regular  season,  split 
with  two  others  and  were  only 
swept  by  MAAC  Tournament 
champion  Canisius. 

Fairfield's  RPI  rating  of  66  was 
the  second  highest  in  the  league 
behind  Iona  which  was  at  55. 
The  Stags  also  posted  wins  over 
Monmouth  (NEC  Finalist,  #97 
RPI),  Western  Illinois  (MCC  Fi- 
nalist) and  Colgate  (Patriot 
League  Tourney  Champion). 
Non-conference  losses  included 
Connecticut  (#6  RPI)  and  Mon- 
tana (#103  RPI). 

The  Stags  led  the  MAAC  in 
three  categories;  field  goal  per- 
centage, free  throw  percentage 
and  assists.  Second  Team  All- 
MAAC  selections  Shannon 
Bowman  (Dorcester,  MA)  and 
Greg  Francis  (Toronto,  Ontario) 
were  among  the  leading  scorers 
all  year,  sophomore  Shane  Mill- 
er (Bloomfield,  IN)  is  12th  in  the 
nation  in  3-pt  FG%  and  24th  in 
FT%,  and  freshman  Kyle  Com- 
modore (Bridgeport,  CT)  was 
named  to  the  MAAC's  All-Rook- 
ie team. 

The  Stags  basketball  program 
has  made  big  strides  the  last 
two  years  after  finishing  4th  in 
1995  after  being  picked  last  in 
the  coaches  pre-season  poll  and 
finishing  1st  this  year  after  being 
picked  5th  by  the  coaches  in  the 
pre-season.

Stags  end  1995-95  season  at  20-10 


NEW  HAVEN  —  Shannon  Bowman  walked  off  the  basketball  court  of  the  New  Haven  Coliseum ,  his  sweat- 
soaked  Fairfield  University  uniform  clinging  to  his  6-foot-4,  240-pound  body. 

The  Stag  junior  forward  had  a  white  towel  draped  around  his  neck  and  part  of  it  covered  his  eyes  and  face 
to  try  and  conceal  the  disappointment  of  having  lost  to  Providence  College,  9 1  -79,  in  the  first  round  of  the  National 
Invitational  Tournament. 

But  Fairfield,  as  it  did  for  most  of  the  1995-96  season,  played  very  tough  and  tenaciously  aginst  the  Friars  and 
put  a  good  scare  into  the  visitors  from  Rhode  Island  and  the  renowned  Big  East  Conference. 

In  a  wild,  fast-paced,  physical  contest,  the  Stags  led  46-43  at  halftime,  fell  behind  by  nine  points,  and  then 
rallied  to  get  to  within  four,  78-74,  with  just  over  three  minutes  to  go  before  reluctantly  succumbing  to  Providence 
in  front  of  6,368  boisterous  fans  of  both  teams. 

"(The  NIT)  was  a  thrill  for  us.  I  know  there  are  a  lot  of  NCAA  games  going  on  now,  and  so  forth,  but  coming 
here  and  having  this  kind  of  support  in  this  kind  of  environment  was  great.  We're  thrilled  to  be  a  part  of  the 
National  Invitational  Tournament,"  said  Cormier.  "I  think  this  particular  game  was  a  huge  stride  for  our  program. 
We've  been  trying  to  put  the  foundation  blocks  in  place  for  the  last  four  years  and  to  culminate  that  with  this 
game  was  special  for  some  of  the  things  these  kids  have  gone  through." 

And  the  Stags  went  right  at  the  Friars,  once  again  surprising  everyone  but  themselves  as  they  tried  to  keep 
their  season  going.  Bowman  scored  13  of  his  20  points  in  the  first  half  and  Francis  had  10  of  his  17  in  the  first  20 
minutes  and  freshman  Kyle  Commodore  scored  eight  as  Fairfield  kept  pace  with  Providence. 

"Fairfield  did  a  great  job.  They  were  carving  us  up,"  said  Providence  coach  Pete  Gillen,  a  1968  graduate  of 
Fairfield  University.  "I  think  our  guys  were  stunned  at  how  good  they  were  and  how  hard  they  played.  They 
didn't  let  up  and  were  scoring  almost  every  time.  No  excuses.  They  were  just  outplaying  us,  out-scrapping  us, 
out-coaching  us  and  out-hustling  us.  They  did  a  nice  job.  They're  tough  to  play  and  no  matter  who  they  played 
today  at  this  time  of  year,  March  15,  they  would  have  given  a  lot  of  teams  a  tough  time.  They  certainly  gave  us 
a  tough  time."

Dr.  McCarthy  Retires  As  Stag  Ice  Hockey  Coach 

Dr.  John  F.  McCarthy,  Fairfield  University's  head  hockey  coach  since 
1 968,  has  stepped  down. 

McCarthy,  an  associate  professor  in  Fairfield's  psychology  depart- 
ment, said  that  his  current  commitments  and  responsibilities  would  make 
it  difficult  for  him  to  continue.  McCarthy  indicated  that  he  had  evaluated 
the  program  each  year  and  decided  that  the  time  was  right  to  retire. 

Over  the  last  28  years,  coach  McCarthy  has  achieved  a  record  of  345- 
327-20  for  a  winning  percentage  of  .513.  McCarthy  has  been  a  guiding 
force  behind  the  Fairfield  University  ice  hockey  program  and  has  led  the 
Stag  skaters  through  a  number  of  transitions.  After  successfully  coaching 
the  club  team  for  six  years  and  racking  up  an  impressive  1 16-39-1  record, 
including  a  perfect  27-0  regular  season  mark  in  1974,  McCarthy  moved 
the  program  to  the  varsity  level  the  following  year  after  having  won  the 
Metropolitan  Hockey  League  championship  for  three  consecutive  years. 

In  1992  Fairfield  went  16-12-0,  finished  second  in  the  EC  AC  South  di- 
vision and  earned  its  first-ever  post-season  berth  as  a  varsity  team.  Fair- 
field entered  the  ECAC  playoffs  as  the  #3  seed  and  defeated  Skidmore 
5-4  in  overtime.  The  Stags  fell  to  Western  New  England  5-2  in  the  second 
round.  Three  years  later  the  Stags  returned  to  the  ECAC  playoffs  after 
recording  an  18-8  mark,  matching  the  program's  record  for  most  wins  in 
a  varsity  season  which  was  set  in  1975.  Fairfield  entered  the  1995  ECAC 
playoffs  as  the  #5  seed  and  fell  to  Framingham  2- 1  in  double  overtime. 

This  past  winter  McCarthy  guided  the  Stags  to  an  11-13-4  overall  mark 
while  taking  second  in  the  ECAC  South  at  8-3-1.  Fairfield  battled  for  the 
South  title  right  to  the  very  last  game  of  the  season  before  dropping  a  4- 
2  decision  to  eventual  South  champion  Skidmore. 

"Dr.  McCarthy  has  been  Fairfield  hockey.  The  University  and  the  ath- 
letic department  are  tremendously  indebted  for  the  time  and  effort  he 
has  contributed  over  28  years.  It  is  a  debt  that  can  never  be  fully  repaid," 
said  Eugene  P.  Doris,  Director  of  Athletics.

Fairfield  To  Play  For  MAAC  Lacrosse  Title 
(Stags  are  the  only  undefeated  team  in  MAAC) 

The  Fairfield  University  men's  lacrosse  team,  in  just  its  fourth  year  as  a  Division  1 
varsity  program,  could  capture  the  Metro  Atlantic  Athletic  Conference  (MAAC)  cham- 
pionship this  Friday  as  the  Stags  are  scheduled  to  host  the  Manst  College  Red  Foxes 
at  3:30  pm. 

With  a  win  over  Marist,  Fairfield  would  run  its  MAAC  record  to  a  perfect  6-0  with 
just  one  conference  game  left.  The  Stags  are  the  only  undefeated  team  in  the  league 
with  Marist  in  second  standing  at  4- 1  in  the  MAAC.  The  Stags  are  currently  6-6  overall 
while  Marist  is  7-5. 

The  1996  MAAC  Lacrosse  League  is  in  its  first  year  of  competition  and  its  mem- 
bership includes  Canisius,  Fairfield,  Manhattan,  Marist,  Mount  St.  Mary's,  Niagara, 
Providence  and  Siena. 

First-year  head  coach  Ted  Spencer  has  been  getting  solid  offensive  production  from 
his  young  roster  and  most  especially  from  sophomore  Matt  Callaghan  (Annapolis, 
MD)  who's  18th  in  the  country  in  points  per  game  with  32  goals  and  19  assists,  fresh- 
man J.T.  Groarke  (Garden  City,  NY)  who  has  scored  24  goals  and  assisted  on  22  others, 
junior  Devin  Laden  (Garden  City,  NY)  who  has  tallied  for  26  goals  and  10  assists  and 
Mike  Keegan  (Rockville,  MD)  who  has  found  the  net  16  times  and  has  assisted  on  19. 

Groarke  is  also  considered  to  be  a  front  runner  for  MAAC  Rookie  of  the  Year  honors 
as  he  is  one  of  the  league's  top  freshman  in  all  offensive  categories. 

The  defense  has  been  anchored  by  junior  goalie  Sam  Peterson  (Annapolis,  MD) 
who  has  made  202  saves  on  the  year  for  a  save  percentage  of  .629  which  places  him 
1  lth  in  the  country.  Yesterday,  Peterson  was  named  the  MAAC's  Goaltender  of  the 
Week  for  the  second  consecutive  week  and  for  the  third  time  in  the  last  four  weeks. 

As  a  team  Fairfield  is  currently  7th  in  the  nation  in  scoring  offense  (13.75  gpg).

Mike  Pike  (Mentor,  OH)  Breaks  Four  More  Stag 

Records 

(Leads  MAAC  South  in  Hits,  Doubles  and  RBI's) 

While  the  Fairfield  University  baseball  team  (17-16-1,  8-7 
MAAC)  was  handling  Yale  University  (18-15)  by  a  score  of 
16-7  yesterday  at  Alumni  Diamond  in  Fairfield,  senior  Mike 
Pike  (Mentor,  OH)  continued  his  assault  on  the  school's  rec- 
ord books.  The  6-0,  190  lb.  right  fielder  continued  his  hot  hit- 
ting with  a  4-for-5  day  which  included  2  doubles,  2  home 
runs,  4  runs  scored,  and  5  RBI's.  In  the  process,  Pike  broke 
school  records  for  RBI's  in  a  season  (46  —  previously  43  by 
Mike  Beaudoin  79),  doubles  in  a  season  (17  —  broke  his  own 
mark  of  16  set  in  '94),  runs  scored  in  a  career  (134  —  previ- 
ously 132  by  Bill  Barnes  76-79),  and  total  bases  in  a  season 
(95  —  previously  94  by  Sal  Gianone  '95).  The  heavy  hitting 
righty  now  holds  a  total  of  nine  school  records. 

Pike  leads  the  Stags  with  a  batting  average  of  .419,  54  hits, 
17  doubles,  8  home  runs,  a  .736  slugging  percentage,  a  .479 
on  base  percentage,  and  is  tied  for  the  team  lead  with  39 
runs  scored.  He  went  into  yesterday's  game  tops  in  the 
MAAC  South  in  doubles  per  game  (0.45),  hits  per  game  ( 1 .55) 
and  RBI's  per  game  (1.24).  His  doubles  total  also  stands  18th 
in  the  NCAA. 

In  the  last  five  games  Pike  hit  .565  (13-for-23)  with  5  doubles, 
3  home  runs,  and  12  RBI's.  With  7  regular  season  games  left 
and  a  good  chance  at  a  MAAC  Tournament  play-off  berth, 
Pike  could  possibly  tie  or  break  4  more  school  records  and 
will  continue  to  add  on  to  the  ones  he  already  holds.  He 
needs  just  one  more  home  run  to  tie  the  season  mark  of  9  set 
last  year  by  Sal  Gianone  (Staten  Island,  NY),  2  more  to  tie 
the  career  mark  of  25  set  by  Joe  Charno  C83-'86),  just  6  hits  to 
tie  the  season  record  of  60  set  by  Joe  Carillo  C93),  and  10  runs 
to  tie  the  season  record  of  49  set  by  Bill  McMahon  ('93).

U.S.  TROOPS  ARRIVE  IN  BOSNIA 

The  first  U.S.  Apache  and  Blackhawk  helicopters  roared  into 
Bosnia  on  December  24  (1995),  a  tangible  sign  of  a  NATO  mis- 
sion commanders  said  was  on  target  and  taking  control  of  front- 
line positions. 

While  the  eight  American  helicopters,  part  of  the  1st  Armored 
Division,  were  arriving  in  the  northern  city  of  Tuzla,  the  head- 
quarters for  U.S.  troops,  French  soldiers  were  extending  control 
in  Sarajevo,  where  a  curfew  was  lifted  for  Christmas  Eve  and 
Christmas. 

French  troops  seized  front-line  checkpoints  north  of  the  city, 
and  took  over  part  of  a  large  resort  in  Serb-held  Ilidza  west  of 
Sarajevo  that  is  to  become  a  NATO  headquarters.  They  also 
reached  agreement  with  Serbs  and  the  Muslim-led  government 
on  an  initial  pullback  from  front-line  positions  around  the  Bos- 
nian capital. 

In  Sarajevo  itself,  the  city's  people  strolled  peaceful  streets 
into  the  early  morning.  Hope  came  with  Christmas. 


MILLION  MAN  MARCH 

The  gathering  in  Washington,  D.C.  on  October  16,  1995,  was 
tremendous.  Hundreds  of  thousands  of  African-American  men 
converged  on  the  nation's  capital  in  response  to  the  call  from 
Louis  Farrakhan,  the  Nation  of  Islam's  leader,  to  rally  for  unity 
and  brotherhood. 

It  was  the  fourth-largest  demonstration  in  Washington's  his- 
tory, and  the  largest  predominately  African-American  gather- 
ing. 

There  were  dozens  of  speakers,  including  civil  right  veterans 
Rosa  Parks,  Dick  Gregory  and  the  Reverend  Jesse  Jackson. 
Stevie  Wonder  sang,  and  Maya  Angelou  read  a  poem  that  urged 
the  men  to  do  right  by  themselves  and  "save  your  race." 

The  rally's  climax  was  Farrakhan's  speech  in  which  he  led 
the  men  in  a  pledge  to  "never  raise  my  hand  with  a  knife  or 
gun  to  beat,  cut  or  shoot  . . .  any  human  being."  He  urged  the 
rally  to  join  organizations,  gain  political  control,  fight  racism 
and  rid  their  neighborhoods  of  crime,  drugs  and  violence. 


MTV  AWARDS 

This  summer  it  seemed  as  though 
Hootie  and  the  Blowfish  were  playing 
every  time  you  turned  on  the  radio. 

The  four-man  rock  group  that 
seemed  to  come  out  of  nowhere  and 
dominate  the  audio  scene  did  not  go 
unnoticed  on  the  video  scene.  Hootie, 
featuring  vocals  by  lead  singer  Darius 
Rucker.  won  an  MTV  award  for  best 
new  artist  for  their  video.  "Hold  My 
Hand."  The  presentation  was  made  at 
the  1 2th  annual  MTV  Video  Music- 
Awards  held  in  September  1995  at  Ra- 
dio City  Music  Hall  in  New  York. 

Dennis  Miller  hosted  the  ceremony. 


which  included  awards  to  Tom  Petty 
for  best  male  video,  "You  Don't  Know 
How  It  Feels,"  and  Madonna  for  best 
female  video,  "Take  a  Bow." 

TLC  won  video  of  the  year  for  "Wa- 
terfalls," a  cautionary  AIDS  song. 

While  presenting  best  rap  video 
award  to  Dr.  Dre,  Madonna  lashed  out 
at  Republican  presidential  candidate 
Bob  Dole  for  his  previous  criticism  of 
the  violent,  sexist  lyrics  of  some  rap  re- 
cords. 

Biggest  winners  of  the  night:  TLC 
and  Weezer,  each  of  whom  had  to 
make  room  on  their  mantels  for  four 
awards.

AMTRAK  CRASH 

The  news  was  terrible:  an  Ami  i  ak  train  derailed  while  crossing  a  trestle  in  a  remote 
desert  region  of  Arizona,  55  miles  southwest  of  Phoenix. 

What  made  the  news  even  worse  was  the  suspicion  of  sabotage. 

Occurring  around  1AM  on  October  9,  1995,  the  derailment  of  Amtrak's  Sunset 
Limited,  en  route  from  Miami  to  Los  Angeles,  sent  four  of  its  cars  into  the  gulch  30 
feet  below  the  trestle.  One  person  was  killed  and  more  than  70  were  injured. 

The  derailment  was  caused  by  the  removal  of  a  metal  bar  that  held  two  sections 
of  rail  together.  The  culprit  installed  a  wire,  disabling  a  light  that  would  have  warned 
the  train's  crew  about  the  break.  The  saboteur's  apparent  knowledge  about  the  warn- 
ing system  led  to  speculation  that  it  might  be  the  work  of  a  railroad  employee. 

Found  at  the  scene  was  a  letter  that  made  reference  to  the  federal  sieges  at  Waco, 
Texas,  and  Ruby  Ridge,  Idaho,  and  also  mentioned  the  FBI  and  the  Bureau  of  Al- 
cohol, Tobacco  and  Firearms.  It  was  signed  "Sons  of  Gestapo." 

The  letter  raised  fears  that  the  derailment  was  the  work  of  anti-government  ter- 
rorists, although  experts  in  the  field  were  unfamiliar  with  the  signature. 


CAL  RIPKEN'S  STREAK 

For  months,  baseball  fans  were  talking  about  The 
Streak. 

With  each  game  he  played,  Baltimore  Orioles 
shortstop  Cal  Ripken  Jr.  drew  one  game  closer  to 
breaking  one  of  baseball's  "unbreakable"  records. 

In  1939,  Yankee  first-baseman  Lou  Gehrig  retired 
after  having  appeared  in  2,130  consecutive  games,  an 
accomplishment  that  surely  would  never  be  equalled. 

In  1995,  Ripken  not  only  equalled  it  —  he  sur- 
passed it! 

On  September  6, 1995,  Ripken  took  the  field,  as  he 
had  done  in  every  Orioles  game  since  May  30,  1982, 
to  play  against  the  California  Angels.  This  was  con- 
secutive game  2,131  —  but  not  until  the  fifth  inning, 
when  baseball  games  become  official. 

When  the  fifth  inning  came,  fireworks  exploded 
and  cameras  flashed,  as  10-foot  banners  bearing  "2- 
1-3-1"  were  unfurled  in  the  outfield  stands  of  Balti- 
more's Camden  Yards. 

The  fans  stood  and  cheered  for  Ripken,  who 
emerged  from  the  dugout  and  gave  his  jersey  to  his 
wife  and  two  children.  His  teammates  pushed  the  re- 
luctant Ripken  back  out  onto  the  field  where  he  made 


a  "thank  you"  lap  around  the  ballpark,  shaking  hands  with 
the  fans.  The  ovation  lasted  22  minutes. 

Befitting  a  hero,  Ripken  hit  a  home  run  in  the  game  won 
bv  the  Orioles  4-2.

CONFLICT  IN  BOSNIA 

Despite  continued  NATO  air  strikes  and  I'.N.  peace  efforts,  the  conflict  in  the  former  Yugoslavia  rages  on, 
with  no  letup  in  sight.  1995  began  with  a  four  month  cease-fire  mediated  by  former  United  States  President 
Jimmy  Carter,  but  the  truce  didn't  put  an  end  to  the  fighting. 

The  former  Yugoslavia  has  been  the  scene  of  a  civil  war  since  June  1991,  and  the  fighting  intensified  in  1992 
after  the  republic  of  Bosnia-Herzegovina  declared  its  independence. 

Bosnian  Serbs,  seeking  independence  from  Bosnia,  began  their  siege  of  the  capital,  Sarajevo,  as  the  European 
community  and  the  United  States  formally  recognized  Bosnia.  More  than  200,000  people  have  been  killed  or  are 
missing  since  the  fighting  began. 

In  May  1995,  NATO  planes  attacked  Serb  ammunition  depots.  The  Serbs  responded  by  attacking  "safe  areas," 
killing  many  and  taking  hundreds  of  U.N.  peacekeeper  hostages. 

In  June,  Serbs  downed  a  U.S.  F-16  over  northern  Bosnia.  The  pilot.  Air  Force  Captain  Scott  O'Grady,  hid  for 
six  days  until  he  was  rescued  by  U.S.  Marines. 

The  conflict  and  the  peace  talks  continue. 


POPE  JOHN  PAUL  II  VISITS 
UNITED  STATES 

For  a  few  days,  a  religious  man  dominated 
the  headlines.  And  for  a  change,  it  gave 
Americans  something  good  to  talk  about. 

The  news  maker  was  Pope  John  Paul  II,  and 
the  occasion  was  his  visit  to  the  United  States  in 
early  October  1995. 

The  75-year-old  pontiff  began  his  five-day 
visit  by  addressing  the  United  Nations  General 
Assembly  in  conjunction  with  the  organization's 
50th  anniversary. 

During  his  stay,  the  pope  celebrated  outdoor 
Mass  in  both  New  York  and  New  Jersey.  Rainy, 
windy  weather  did  little  to  dampen  the  spirits  of 

the  faithful  who  gathered  to  hear  him  speak, 
catch  a  glimpse  of  him  or  even  touch  him  as  he 
swept  past. 

In  Baltimore  (MD),  he  addressed  an  audience 
at  the  baseball  stadium  and  lunched  at  a  soup 
kitchen  before  flying  back  to  Rome. 

Throughout  his  visit,  the  pope  called  for 
greater  attention  to  the  needs  of  the  less 
fortunate.

WOMEN'S  CONFERENCE  IN 
CHINA 

It  was  Hillary  Clinton's  first  visit  to  China,  and 
made  it  a  memorable  one.  In  a  speech  to  the  United  Ni 
tion's  Fourth  World  Conference  on  Women,  the  first  h 
dy  took  on  the  world. 

Her  speech,  delivered  on  September  5,  1995,  made 
call  for  human  rights  and  freedom  of  expression,  and  si 
said  that  it  was  indefensible  that  many  women  who  re| 
istered  for  the  conference  were  denied  visas  or  were  ut 
able  to  fully  participate. 

Mrs.  Clinton  surprised  her  audience  and  the  host  u 
tion  by  rebuking  Beijing  for  its  treatment  of  private  ai 
tivists  who  said  they  were  harassed  by  authorities  durin 
a  parallel  forum  held  in  Huairou,  China,  just  30  mill 
away. 

The  conference  platform  called  for  measures  to  alii 
viate  women's  poverty,  and  improve  health  care,  job  0| 
portunities  and  education.

Shading  of  1905-1996 


OKLAHOMA  CITY  BOMBING 

On  April  19, 1995,  a  car  bomb  exploded  in  Oklahoma  City  (OK),  destroying  the  Alfred 
P.  Murrah  Federal  Building  and  killing  scores  of  men,  women  and  young  children. 

The  force  of  the  blast  tore  off  the  building's  facade  and  sent  it  flying  50  feet  across 
the  street,  where  it  slammed  into  another  building  and  came  to  rest  in  a  parking  lot. 
With  the  outer  wall  of  the  building  suddenly  gone,  workers  tumbled  out  of  their  offices 
and  into  the  street  where  the  blast  had  carved  a  crater  30  feet  wide. 

Shortly  after  the  explosion,  Timothy  McVeigh,  a  Gulf  War  veteran  was  arrested  for 
carrying  a  concealed  weapon.  Two  days  later,  he  was  recognized  as  one  of  the  bombing 
suspects  and  was  charged. 

McVeigh's  trial  is  pending.

MIDEAST  PEACE  ACCORD 

"The  sight  you  see  before  you  . . .  was  impossible,  was 
unthinkable,  just  three  years  ago,"  Israel's  Prime  Minister 
Yitzhak  Rabin  told  those  present  at  the  East  Room  of  the 
White  House. 

The  "sight"  was  the  September  28.  1995,  signing  of  an 
accord  between  Israel  and  the  PLO  that  would  end  Israel's 
military  occupation  of  West  Bank  cities  and  lay  the  foun- 
dation for  a  Palestinian  state. 

President  Clinton  presided  over  the  ceremony  which  fea- 
tured two  hours  of  speeches  and  pageantry  before  an  audi- 
ence of  diplomats,  foreign  ministers.  Cabinet  secretaries  and 
members  of  Congress. 

The  agreement  outlines  the  process  for  gradual  withdraw- 
al of  Israeli  troops  and  transfer  of  governing  authority  for 
Palestinian  self-rule  in  30  percent  of  the  west  Bank.  It  also 
allows  for  Palestinian  elections  and  the  release  of  5,000  Pa- 
lestinian prisoners  being  held  by  Israel. 

*  Prime  Minister  Yitzhak  Rabin  was  assassinated  by  a  Jew- 
ish extremist  in  Israel  on  Saturday,  November  4,  1995.

As  we  take  a  closer  look  at  the  "sketches"  ot  Fairfield,  we  come  to  Quad  Life  —  truly  a  part 
of  the  Fairfield  experience.  Residents  of  the  Quad  created  fun  for  almost  every  season.  Remem- 
ber the  water  fights  that  kicked  off  the  school  year?  Students  were  running  everywhere  with 
buckets,  pails,  cups,  trash  cans  and  recycling  bins,  drenching  each  other  with  water.  But  as  with 
all  good-natured  fun,  it  came  to  an  end  with  the  security  guards  shutting  off  the  water  and  the 
RAs  blocking  the  doors. 

The  Christmas  spirit,  which  may  have  diminished  for  some  people,  was  captured  through  the 
lighting  of  the  Quad  and  trips  to  NYC.  Were  you  a  "cool  Regis  person"  who  took  pride  in 
Christmas  at  FAO  Schwartz  or  did  you  resort  to  good  old  fashion  bribery  the  way  Campion  did 
with  the  throwing  of  candy  canes? 

When  the  Christmas  spirit  died  down,  the  residents  of  the  Quad  found  a  reason  to  celebrate 
winter  with  the  infamous  1  a.m.  snowball  fight.  Despite  the  three  inches  of  ice  left  on  the  paths 
by  the  "snow  removal  crews,"  a  battleground  was  made  of  the  Quad.  After  the  snow  melted 
in  the  middle  of  March,  the  Quad  became  the  stadium  for  star  frisbee-throwers,  wiffle-ball  play- 
ers and  sunbathers. 

All  these  fun  memories  of  the  Quad  have  made  another  sketch  of  life  at  Fairfield.  Sorry  Do- 
laners  and  the  foreigners  of  the  Orient  —  you  missed  out!  Quad  life  is  a  sketch  that  won't  be 
forgotten  .  .  .  and  I  know  everyone  won't  forget  that  Jogues  rules  the  Quad!

. . .  was  so  attractive  after 
spending  at  least  two  years  in 
the  resident  halls . . .  Simply  the 
thought  of  cooking  your  own 
meals  was  inviting!  And  now 
you  could  share  your  messes 
with  three  or  five  people  in 
stead  of  just  your  roommate.

DEGREES  OF  . 
MOTION 


The  Fairfield  University  dance  team,  Degrees  of  Motion,  is  a  fairly  new  sports  team  in 
the  university's  athletic  department.  The  team  originated  just  four  years  ago  in  1992 
and  has  truly  proven  themselves  to  be  a  vital  part  of  Fairfield's  spirit  group.  Degrees  of 
Motion  performs  at  the  men's  as  well  as  the  woman's  basketball  game  half-times.  Each 
routine  is  based  on  a  hip-hop  style  of  dance  which  is  performed  to  recent  popular 
songs  with  the  purpose  of  hyping  up  the  crowd.  Degrees  of  Motion  has  also  taken  its 
spirit  onto  the  university's  Ham  channel  and  public  television  to  spread  Fairfield's  school 
spirit.  This  year  the  team  was  given  the  opportunity  to  travel  to  Madison  Square  Garden 
for  part  of  the  season,  as  well  as  Albany  for  the  MAAC  tournament  to  support  the  mens 
team.  Speaking  from  four  years  of  experience  as  a  dance  team  performer,  the  team 
feeds  off  the  excitement  of  the  crowd  and  is  thankful  to  every  supporter  and  spectator 
for  their  smiles  and  applause. 

Every  year  try-outs  are  held  and  a  strong  group  of  talented  young  dancers  are  cho- 
sen for  the  following  season.  This  year,  the  dance  team  proudly  represents  several  ladies 
from  each  class.  The  team  includes:  Kyla  Feeley,  Jenn  Mongillo,  Kristin  Strelec,  Andrea 
Castiglioni,  Kristi  Reidway,  Gina  Soviero,  Caroline  Allen,  Loretta  Markevics,  Julie  Charsky, 
Jennifer  Reina,  Lisa  Galliera,  Jessica  Rodrigues,  Veronica  Nowak,  Erin  Donahue,  Tammy 
Millan,  Kelly  Morin,  Meredith  Brown,  Jeannine  Raffone,  Cathy  Jablonski,  Kristen  Conley,

Top  10  Most  Important 
College  Lessons 


I  o.  No  matter  how  late  you  make  your  first  class,  at  some  point  you  will  sleep  through 

it  from  the  night  before. 
9.  No  means  no,  yes  means  yes  and  anything  in  the  middle  means  no! 
8.  Despite  your  major,  you  will  find  a  job  —  somewhere. 
7.  It  is  possible  to  move  your  entire  bedroom  at  home  into  an  1  T  x  14'  room  with 

a  roommate  —  it  just  takes  talent. 
6.  College  is  more  than  drinking  and  studying  —  it  is  a  balancing  act  and  only 

when  your  balance  is  near  perfect,  they  slap  a  silly  cap  and  gown  on  you  and 

throw  you  out. 
5.  The  things  you  swore  you'd  never  do,  you  did,  and  guess  what?  .  .  .  you're  now 

that  much  smarter  and  lived  to  tell. 
4.  The  best  way  for  the  school  to  keep  a  constant  cash  flow  is  to  issue  senseless 

parking  tickets,  like  those  $10  ones  for  parking  crooked  in  between  the  lines 

because  the  guy  next  to  you  did  not  park  straight  either. 
3.  One  good  friend  is  better  than  a  case  of  Bud  and  a  toilet  bowl  and  a  bottle  of 

Advil! 
2.  College  truly  teaches  you  to  appreciate  privacy  and  free  time  alone.  The  reason 

being,  college  life  allows  for  none. 
1.  Being  college-educated  doesn't  mean  you  have  all  the  answers  —  a  college 

diploma  just  gives  you  the  right  to  state  an  educated  guess  with  dignity  and 

respect!

WE  LEVEE 


XVA  long,  long  time  ago 

I  can  still  remember  how  that  music  used  to  make  me  smile 

And  I  knew  if  I  had  my  chance  that  I  could  make  those  people 

dance 

and  maybe  they'd  be  happy  for  a  while  .  .  . 

So  bye-bye,  Miss  American  Pie 

Drove  my  Chevy  to  the  levee  but  the  levee  was  dry. 

Them  good  ole  boys  were  drinkin'  whiskey  and  rye 

Singin'  this'll  be  the  day  that  I  die, 

This'llbethedaythatldie."

DINING  HALL 


After  a  busy  day  of  classes 
and  meetings,  the  dining 
hall  is  a  great  place  to  catch 
up  with  friends. 


"You  mean,  this  is  not  real 
beef!"  (Mark  discovers  the 
truth  about  Sedexho's 
burgers  after  four  years  of 
eating  in  the  dining  hall.) 


Today's  gourmet  coffee 
is  orange  cinnamon. 


Everyone  loves  Anne. 


A  meal  at  the  dining  hall 
wouldn't  be  a  meal  without  the 
professional  comments  passed 
about  the  gourmet  food  by  us, 
the  students.  Eating  is  such  an 
important  part  of  our  daily  lives 
that  we  wanted  to  extend  our 
appreciation  to  Sedexho  by 
sharing  our  expert  critiques. 
Here  are  some  of  our  most  pop- 
ular reviews: 

1.  "There  is  nothing  here  to 
eat!" 

2.  "Do  you  think  these  were 
yesterday's  leftovers  or  the 
day  before  yesterday's?" 

3.  (As  we  put  our  trays  on  the 
conveyor  belt,)  "I  am  so 
HUNGRY!" 

4.  "Yup,  Joe!  Dinner  is  green 
eggs  and  ham." 

5.  "I  can't  eat  the  salad 
because  there  are  no 
croutons." 

6.  "I  think  they  forgot  to  put 
the  prefix,  "non"  in  front  of 
"frozen"  on  the  sign  by  the 
yogurt  machine. 

7.  "Hey,  well  at  least  it  looks 
good!" 

8.  "Dominos  tonight?"

SENIOR  FLASHBACK 
REMEMBER  WHEN  .  . . 

We  were  the  biggest  freshman  class 
ever  to  enter  Fairfield. 
Canisius  was  without  a  snackbar. 
The  beach  was  floating  away  in  the 
December  '92  flood. 
Giovanna's  ruled. 

There  was  no  bar  on  campus  to  go  to 
before  The  Levee. 

You  were  awakened  in  the  middle  of 
the  night  to  prank  fire  alarms  in  the 
dorms. 

You  had  so  many  meals  left  at  Seilers 
on  your  ID  every  week  you  were  giv- 
ing them  away. 

The  Snack  Bar  was  The  Stag-Her  — 
before  it  was  deemed  sexist  and  of- 
fensive. 

We  started  out  our  college  career  with 
a  sell  out  FUSA  concert  —  Spin  Doc- 
tors. 

You  finally  figured  out  that  The  Meet 
Sheet  was  the  freshman  student  direc- 
tory. 

Cohab  was  a  reason  for  being  written 
up. 

7-1 1  never  seemed  that  far  from  the 
beach  .  .  .  until  you  started  walking.

YOU'VE  GOT 

A  FRIEND 


Senior  Brunch 

"When  you're  down  and  troubled 

And  you  need  a  helping  hand 

And  nothing  ...  is  going  right 

Close  your  eyes  and  think  of  me 

And  soon  I'll  be  there 

To  brighten  up  even  your  darkest  night 


James  Taylor 


Traditionally,  the  senior  brunch  is  an  oc- 
casion to  bring  together  seniors,  faculty  and 
administration  for  one  of  the  last  times.  It  al- 
so celebrates  the  dedication  of  the  yearbook 
and  honors  the  Teacher  of  the  Year.  This 
year,  Dr.  Beverly  Kahn  received  the  Manor 
Dedication  as  well  as  half  a  dozen  hats  for 
her  efforts  in  the  community.  Dr.  Judy  Pri- 
mevera,  the  Teacher  of  the  Year,  spoke  about 
education  and  the  importance  of  establishing 
an  intimate  relationship  with  her  students. 

Mark  Reed  also  be-    

came  the  first  FUS  A 
president  to  receive 
the  privilege  of  be- 
ing the  alumni  rep- 
resentative for  his 
class.

I've  left  them  all  behind 
I'm  in  a  New  York  State  of  Mind." 


Billy  Joel 


The  start  of  the  major  events  leading  up  to  graduation  came  the  middle  of  Senior  Week, 
on  Wednesday,  May  15,  when  students  boarded  buses  for  one  last  school  trip.  This  time, 
the  destination  was  New  York  City,  for  a  cruise  down  the  Hudson  River.  Upon  boarding, 
seniors  had  the  two  level  cruise  ship,  fully  equipped  for  a  night  of  dinner  and  dancing,  all 
to  themselves.  As  the  ship  left  its  dock,  students  were  invited  up  to  the  buffet  table,  filled 
with  a  variety  of  appetizing  entrees.  Once  they  finished  eating,  seniors  were  free  to  wander 
up  to  the  open  top  deck  to  catch  sight  of  the  beautiful  cityscape.  As  night  approached, 
Manhattan  lit  up  dramatically  against  the  darkening  skyline.  One  of  the  evening's  high- 
lights came  afterwards,  when  the  ship  cruised  up  close  to  the  Statue  of  Liberty  before 
turning  around  and  heading  back  to  the  dock. 

Once  satisfied  with  taking  in  the  panorama,  students  quickly  became  engrossed  in  sev- 
eral hours  of  dancing  to  the  music  of  an  exceptional  live  band.  The  small,  packed  dance 
floor  cleared  only  briefly,  when  the  ship's  hosts,  waiters  and  waitresses  surprised  their 
passengers,  revealing  their  hidden  talents  for  singing  and  dancing  in  a  lively,  engaging 
performance.  Overall,  the  evening  was  such  a  success,  that  when  the  boat  returned  to  shore 
at  only  10:30  p.m.,  students  were  disappointed  at  how  quickly  this  memorable  evening 
had  passed.

Senior  Semi-Formal  Dance 

"I  met  my  old  lover 

On  the  street  last  night 

She  seemed  so  glad  to  see  me 

I  just  smiled 

And  we  talked  about  some  old  times 

And  we  drank  ourselves  some  beers 

Still  crazy  after  all  these  years." 


Paul  Simon 


Friday  evening,  May  17,  the  seniors 
:ked  off  an  eventful  graduation  week- 
d  with  the  Senior  Semi-Formal  under 
i  tent  on  Campion  Field.  Clearly  a 
ne  of  happy  celebration  for  all  of  those 
ssent,  the  dance  provided  an  oppor- 
lity  for  seniors  to  get  together  to  re- 
let on  old  times  and  also  to  look  for- 
ird  with  excitement  and  anticipation 
ward  Commencement.  When  students 
3k  the  time  to  look  carefully  at  the 
ps  of  the  tables  which  had  been  set  up 
r  the  event,  they  found  subtle  but  hu- 
arous  reminders  of  times  past:  cutouts 
their  photographs  taken  from  the 
eshman  "Meet  Sheet."  After  taking 
e  time  to  dig  through  to  find  shots  of 
emselves  and  friends,  seniors  then 
need  together  all  night  long  to  current 
ts  played  by  a  D.J.  Finally,  toward  the 
id  of  the  evening,  seniors  shared  four 
:ars"  worth  of  memories  as  they 
atched  the  Senior  Slide  Show  before 
aving.

ival  of  seniors'  families,  many  of 
iom  came  early  to  attend  the  Bacca-

Bellermine  Terrace 
Fairfield,  Connecticut 


While  seniors  and  their  families  spent  most  of  the 
day  and  evening  of  the  Baccalaureate  Mass  and  Par- 
ents' Dance  worrying  about  bad  weather,  when  grad- 
uation itself  arrived  on  Sunday,  May  19,  heavy  fog 
and  rain  had  disappeared.  In  its  place  instead  was 
only  the  blue  sky  of  an  unusually  sunny,  warm  and 
clear  spring  day.  Even  a  full  weekend  of  festive  cel- 
ebration did  not  keep  seniors  from  rising  early  to 
assemble  in  Bannow  Hall,  where  the  road  to  Bellar- 
mine  and  graduation  began.  Once  all  were  present 
and  fully  robed  in  caps  and  gowns  the  near-graduates 
processed  up  the  winding  route  from  Bannow  to  the 
outdoor  terrace,  where  friends  and  relatives  strained 
to  see  their  graduates,  while  snapping  pictures  non- 
stop. 

After  each  student  had  the  honor  of  being  individ- 
ually recognized  on  stage  and  university  President 
Fr.  Aloyisius  P.  Kelly  formally  declared  them  grad- 
uates, those  present  listened  to  the  valedictory 
speech,  given  this  year  by  Jessica  Flaherty.  Flaherty 
used  the  words  of  the  Indigo  Girls'  song  "Closer  to 
Fine"  to  leave  classmates  with  thoughts  about  find- 
ing their  way  in  life.  Just  as  the  song  explains  that 
4  'There's  more  than  one  answer  to  these  (life's)  ques- 
tions, pointing  in  a  crooked  line,"  so  Flaherty  re- 
minded that  the  more  graduates  look  to  find  their 
own  unique  paths  in  life,  the  closer  they  too  will  be 
to  fine. 

After  the  Valedictory  speech,  honorary  graduates 
were  conferred  with  their  degrees,  and  one  of  them, 
Harris  Woffard,  proceeded  to  address  the  graduates. 
A  co-founder  of  the  Peace  Corps  with  President  John 
F.  Kennedy,  Woffard  impressed  upon  the  graduates 
the  importance  of  service  in  their  future  lives.  Once 
the  ceremony  reached  its  close,  graduates  processed 
out  in  anticipation  of  the  second  half  of  their  big  day, 
filled  with  celebration  and,  later,  one  last  night  with 
friends  before  leaving  at  the  Senior  Bonfire.

The  Final  Word 

At  the  risk  of  sounding  corny,  I'd  like  to  say  something  that  has  been  most  likely  said  (or 
at  least  thought)  way  too  many  times  in  the  past  few  months:  These  have  been  the  best 
four  years  of  our  lives  so  far.  Personally,  it  is  with  great  sadness  that  I  leave  this  institution. 
Fairfield  has  beaten  me  up  and  exhausted  me;  but  it  has  also  been  my  friend,  given  me 
hope,  and  taught  me  more  than  I  ever  hoped  to  learn.  As  an  exercise  of  retrospect  and 
infinite  appreciation,  I  would  like  to  thank  the  following  people: 

My  mother  — for  making  me  as  crazy  as  I  am 

My  father  — for  making  me  semi-stable 

My  sister  Joy  — for  worrying  about  me  even  when  I  don 't  worry  about  myself 

My  sister  Judy  — for  being  so  strong 

Ed  — for  Kelly,  dancing  to  Abba,  and  being  my  friend 

Rika  — for  being  the  most  amazing  person  alive 

Bruce  — for  being  steely 

Mike  — for  making  me  into  a  spaz 

Phil  — for  keeping  me  sane  during  second  semester,  junior  year 

Alison  Y  — for  your  laugh 

Alisa  — for  the  pokes 

Sue  — for  keeping  me  up  on  Shelton  gossip 

Alannah  — for  whatever 

The  Sociology  Department  — for  being  so  supportive  with  all  my  endeavors 

Dr.  Murphy  and  Dr.  Hodgson  — for  all  the  great  advice  and  a  very  special  thanks  to  Dr. 
Kurt  Schlichting:  Thank  you  for  believing  in  me  and  giving  me  a  chance.  Your  guidance 
and  friendship  have  helped  me  accomplish  things  I  never  thought  I  could  achieve.  I  only 
hope  that  someday  I  will  be  able  to  do  for  someone  what  you  have  done  for  me.  Thank 
you. 


1 


To  everyone  else  at  Fairfield  —  good  and  bad,  those  who  loved  me,  and  those  who  hated 
me,  for  better  or  for  worse:  you  all  inspired  me  to  take  advantage  of  everything  the  world 
gave  me.  Thank  you  for  making  me  stronger.

A  Friend 

A  friend  is  one  of  the  nicest  things  you  can  have, 

and  one  of  the  best  things  you  can  be. 
A  friend  is  a  living  treasure,  and  if  you  have  one, 
you  will  have  one  of  the  most  valuable  things  in 

life. 

A  friend  is  the  one  who  will  always  be  beside  you, 

through  all  the  laughter,  and  every  tear. 
A  friend  is  the  one  thing  you  can  always  rely  on; 

the  someone  you  can  always  open  up  to; 
the  one  wonderful  person  who  always  believes  in 

you 

in  a  way  no  one  else  seems  to. 

A  friend  is  a  sanctuary. 

A  friend  is  a  smile. 

A  friend  is  a  hand  that  is  always  holding  yours, 
no  matter  where  you  are,  no  matter  how  close 

or  far  apart  you  may  be. 
A  friend  is  someone  who  is  always  there  and 

will  always  —  always  —  care. 
A  friend  is  a  feeling  of  forever  in  the  heart. 

A  friend  is  the  one  door  that  is  always  open. 

A  friend  is  the  one  to  whom  which  you 

can  give  your  key. 

A  friend  is  one  of  the  nicest  things  you  can  have, 

and  one  of  the  nicest  things  you  can  be.
